Pope Makes Surprise Appearance

Pope John Paul made a surprise appearance from his hospital window today, waving to the faithful just after a top Vatican official read a statement from him asking for prayers.

John Paul, who was dressed in his white vestments, was wheeled to the window and blessed the crowd by making the sign of the cross in clear gestures. He's recovering from breathing problems that necessitated a tracheotomy. Vatican officials say they were brought on by a relapse of the flu. This is the first time Pope John Paul has not been able to say the Sunday Angelus prayer. He never missed it, even when he was traveling throughout the world or right after he'd been shot in 1981.

A matter of seconds between those who would live and those who would die as Florida pedestrian bridge topples down highway bustling with passing vehicles.

Pope Francis has asked forgiveness for all Christians who buy sex from women, telling a roomful of young people that frequenting prostitutes is a crime against humanity and the sign of a "sick mentality" that thinks that women exist to be exploited.
